Conservatives fume over the Justice Barrett siding against Trump on foreign aid freeze Justice Barrett sided with Chief Justice Roberts and the Supreme Court's liberal block in rejecting Trump's request to keep foreign aid frozen, provoking ire from conservatives.

Please stop giving this psychopath a pass for doing this

The fact that this wasn’t a 9-0 decision against Trump is the incredibly terrifying fascistic subtext

Along Thai-Myanmar border, Trump’s decision to suspend foreign aid is deadly Despite a pledge that life-saving assistance would be exempt from the USAid freeze, countless groups providing critical care have been forced to stop work

With the #AidFreeze & shifting priorities affecting the development sector, what should a position paper on equitable donor-NGO partnership look like?

Should it call for flexible funding, locally driven priorities, or a shift from compliance to trust-based accountability?

Trump's foreign aid freeze halted a crucial program fighting HIV in Africa. Here's what's at stake The freeze on U.S. foreign aid ordered by President Donald Trump has effectively halted one of the world's most successful responses to a disease.

This situation is a shame.

Every day I have a talented friend or colleague reach out for job opportunities due to the #aidfreeze or the #NIH related cuts. These are literally the most talented people I have ever encountered. Not sure what #efficiency means to this government but furloughing US talent does not sound like it.

The Foreign Aid Freeze's Costs to the US in the Middle East and North Africa The Trump administration's dismantling of USAID poses significant threats to security in the Middle East and North Africa.

When we think about the #aidfreeze as a gift to malign actors, it's generally PRC & Russia. At the local level it's even more immediate. Hezbollah is already re-establishing health clinics in Lebanon in place of previous US support. This garners immense goodwill. www.justsecurity.org/107929/us-fo...

🚨The #aidfreeze leaves people in conflict zones deprived of life saving information, it puts the protection of #journalists on hold and gives way to #disinformation.

Volunteers Are Now Tracking What’s Already Been Lost in the USAID Freeze These grassroots tracking efforts are largely self-funded and self-directed.

More than 10,000 jobs have been cut due to the freeze. Global Aid Freeze website is collecting data on the impact of nonprofits. Over 550 orgs have completed their survey and “half of the respondents estimated they had less than three months of operating reserves” #usaid #aidfreeze #fundingfreeze

🚨Due to the #aidfreeze at least 268 million USD of funding allocated to independent #media for this year will be lost, limiting access to information worldwide.
